Grief and support in "little Odessa"

It's called Little Odessa, the area of ​​Brooklyn, New York.

Russians and Ukrainians have lived here together long before the fall of the Soviet Union.

Now the area is characterized by a clearly subdued atmosphere.

- I love my Russian origin, but nowadays it is something you almost have to be ashamed of, says Ksenia Kiseleva.

At the same time, several in the area point out the great support one sees with the war.

- The entire Russian-speaking community here has united and wants to stand up for those affected, says radio host Michael Levitis.
